Control
Three sub-tabs: Remote Control, Companion, Output Audit.
Remote Control
OSC control is a Solo-level feature.
Enable remote control and set the Port (default 8001). ShowRevue then takes OSC commands to
record, stop, play, jump cue, step frames, set loop points, and more.
The /showrevue root is optional — /transport/…, /control/… or the bare address (/record) all
work. The Commands list in the tab is searchable, with a copy button on every row. Full address
reference: OSC Remote Control.
Companion
Two directions, and they're independent:
- Variable Polling — ShowRevue reads Companion's variables (host
127.0.0.1, port8000, poll 200 ms). Paste$(connection:variable)straight into any Custom Text overlay widget and it resolves live; the Variable Library here is just for discovery and previewing values. - Send Feedback to Companion — ShowRevue publishes its state (
/showrevue/state/*: record state, cue, show name immediately; timecode and fps once a second) out to the machine running Companion (default port8002).
Commands from Companion arrive on the Remote Control listener above, which has to be enabled separately.
On a single machine the control-in port and the feedback-out port must be different numbers. Note
also that Companion polling defaults to 8000 — the same number as the console OSC cue input.
See Companion Module.
Output Audit
Read-only. Every command ShowRevue sends to a console or media server is logged here, along with anything blocked by the safety gate — outputs disarmed, a Show recording, or a TimeWarp scrub. A badge shows OUTPUTS ARMED or OUTPUTS OFF (safe).
Capture-only by default, so it usually stays empty — which is the point: it's proof the desk was never touched. See Show Safety.
